Matt Urben, Falcons WireSat, November 29, 2025 at 6:01 PM UTC·2 min readThe Atlanta Falcons finally ended their five-game losing streak by defeating the New Orleans Saints, but they have a long way to go before they're back in the playoff picture. In Week 13, the Falcons will face the New York Jets on the road in what should be another winnable game.
The Jets are 2-9 for the season and just 1-5 at home in 2025. Last week, New York lost to the Baltimore Ravens by two touchdowns. Tyrod Taylor will get the start for the Jets on Sunday, while Kirk Cousins will make his third start of the season for the Falcons.

The veteran quarterback passed for two touchdowns and an interception in Week 12, but he won't have his No. 1 wide receiver. Drake London has been ruled out due to a knee injury. KhaDarel Hodge will likely fill in for London on Sunday.
